Yes all the angry customers featured show how effective stereotyping is. I think the first lady interviewed described this dire situation best. "Peoples have kids dat they tryin to feed wit da special and yous tryin to tells us dat we can't feed our kids?" | ||

The lady anchor on the right was laughing at the clip. XD On April 29 2009 18:21 rkarhu wrote: Do only black people visit PopEyes? They sure love their chicken. And does everyone in the US drive such big ass cars? No, you can see other ethnicities at Popeyes, although a majority of their sales comes from black people (just made that up, but come on  ). That is because KFC is a bigger chain than Popeyes and therefore is cheaper. Personally, I think Popeyes is better.Lots of people love chicken.  You can't say everyone in America drives big cars because you are just generalizing and stereotyping. Once again, a lot of people do but it depends on where you are. | ||

Can't remember where I read it though... maybe it was from /b/ http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking+News/World/Story/STIStory_345677.html Not a grandma, but it's a woman who called the cops because they ran out of McNuggets. Anyways, I was at Popeyes yesterday and noticed a huge line of people getting those buckets. I actually didn't even realize until now that there was a sale. I guess I don't go to popeye's enough to know that a $5 bucket isn't an everyday thing. | ||

im sure its just a coincidence, but lots of times grocery stores just happen to be miles and miles inbetween in some of the most densely populated areas of the US. Where some of the poorest people happen to live. It kind of sucks because you know groceries are probably the cheapest way to live, but if you dont have a car etc... ya. They callin em "food deserts" cause your only choices for food are usually fast food or a gas station. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28300393/ | ||

No they can't because none of them know how to cook. Just looking at their reactions you know they haven't touched a stove in their entire life. No chicken left? Ok lets eat somewhere else....NOT. Lets go crazy!? Oh yea we happen to be black too BUT YOU CAN'T STEREOTYPE. Everyone likes fried chicken, but blacks happen to love fried chicken. And yes so many Americans drive big ass cars for no fucking reasons. But its ok because whenever theres a slight turn on the freeway all the big cars topple over and fall down a side of the hill. | ||

Honestly, their reaction wasn't that out of line since they were all lining up in the drive through for it and maybe they had budgeted their family meals around it. Plus it could just be that they chose to only show interviews with black people. | ||

If you listen closely she says "Peoples have kids that they tryin' to feed with(sounds for?) the special, and you mean to tell me that we can't feed our kids?" NOT "Peoples have kids dat they tryin to feed wit da special and yous tryin to tells us dat we can't feed our kids?" "you mean to tell us" not "yous tryin to tells us" Only the first "that" is MAYBE a "dat", but the second "that" is clearly not "dat" Bosu you are deliberately trying to make the woman sound stupider than she is. That said, this is fucking hilarious. | ||

That woman probably visits that box regularly, and speaks into it regularly. The voice of the recording is more than likely one of the members of staff at that particular store. It's actually quite likely that woman recognizes that particular girl's voice, and if not what I have said above still holds true. I know the place is shut but since she went to the drive thru she may not have realised this. The you hear a voice.... you assume you are talking to somebody. What she is doing is anything you or I would do. It's completely normal. How the fuck is she supposed to know it's a recording? You think she would be talking to it if she knew it was a recording? No one is that stupid. She is clearly capable of driving a car and speaking english. Anyone who can do these things is not stupid enough to talk to a recording and expect an answer. The fact that she is speaking clearly shows she does not know it is a recording. ignorance =/= stupidity NOT JUSTIFIED BITCH edit: aiii GOT THE TASTE! | ||

Driving a few extra miles doesn't hurt. If you don't have a car, get on a damn bus. "Retailers blame theft in urban supermarkets, high employment turnover and lack of space for choosing to locate their stores elsewhere." Sounds pretty legitimate to me... food aparthied, sensationalist douchebags | ||

It's just rather dumb for a store to advertise a sale they are SURE is going to attract a swath of people and then not purchase the required chicken in advance to make up for the change in demand. | ||
